All: My husband (a nurse, and a darn good one) told me that 1200 calories is the starvation mode threshold. Of course, he only mentioned that to me after I started using Fitday and found that my caloric intake had been around 1000 per day. Needless to say, I had been stalled for a while.

Absolutely, calories count, but it's not as simple as 1-2-3. I have to keep my cals up in the 1400-1600 range at least, or I don't lose. And since I started to work out this week (yay me!), I may need to readjust my intake even more. I think that people with a natural tendency to take in more calories may have to watch that they don't take in too many; that's just not my problem.
